A message from our President

Doug Tarry

Now is a great time to buy a Doug Tarry Homes Net Zero Home. Prices have stabilized, inflation is coming under control and interest rates look to have peaked.

On the other hand, the gas bill has gone up, the electric bill has gone up, making it harder to afford to live.

At Doug Tarry Homes, we have competitively priced homes that are more affordable to live in, provide a safer, healthier, quieter and more sustainable place to call home. As Canada’s leading Net Zero Builder, we are honoured to be among the industry leaders in North America for providing the homes of the future, today.

Doug Tarry has led the company’s initiative in many humanitarian causes, including Project Hope, Hope Agua Vita and most recently, Christmas Give Back. Doug is a strong proponent of “Green Building” and continues to lead Doug Tarry Limited in our firm’s evolution to high performing, healthy green homes in our communities. Doug is currently focusing on indoor air quality and carbon, with the intent of moving the residential building industry from a driver of climate change to a leader in carbon drawdown.

I look forward to sharing this knowledge with the publication of my first book, “From Bleeding Edge to Leading Edge: A Builders Guide To Net Zero Homes” this September.

We are thrilled to see the planning of Project Tiny Hope make great strides in recent months. Project Tiny Hope is a partnership between the YWCA, Doug Tarry Homes and Sanctuary Homes, with the goal to build 40 tiny homes comprising of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom detached, semi-detached and townhome rental houses in St Thomas, Ontario. The homes will be owned by the YWCA and will offer deeply affordable rent to community members, with 50% of the units dedicated to women and women-led families, 25% to youth 16-25 years of age, 10% to Indigenous individuals, as well as seniors, families, and other community groups. On January 16, the public meeting for zoning approval was held and we were thrilled with the warm welcome and great conversation around the questions that were raised. We are actively working on fundraising and will be applying for CMHC’s Rapid Housing Initiative funding next month. Would you like to help turn this Tiny Hope dream into a reality?
